Does taking birth control pills cause breast tenderness?

Patient's question:

Because I didn't make any preparations before taking the birth control pill, I felt bloated after eating it. Do you get bloated from taking birth control pills?

Doctor's answer:

Taking emergency contraception pills can cause breast enlargement, which is a normal reaction. This is because birth control pills primarily contain estrogen and progesterone preparations. Both estrogen and progesterone can stimulate the fibrosis and growth of breast glandular tissue. High-dose use of birth control medication can stimulate the fibrosis of breast milk ducts and alveoli, leading to feelings of discomfort. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
